It should be fine on the highway. I think it lowers when you go above 55 mph no matter what settings. It’s just how quickly it comes back to your set height I don’t know. I doubt it does it instantly or it would be going up and down in stop and go traffic. You could pull into a rest stop with a speed bump or something.Didn’t realize that it switches to low when set on medium. I’ll check back after I drive down to the tulip festival in Pella Iowa. Lots of interstate driving.
Of course it is. I’ll let you measure exactly how much A bigger mud flap, as well as rear flaps, would be more protection too. Let me know if you find some A mud flap that gets ripped off has even less protection.When people are cutting up to an inch shorter is that hurting the protection that mud flaps offer? Just curious.
The guy who developed these should be transferred to garbage duty or simply fired. It is an embarrassment for Tesla to offer these. If they were on Amazon the ratings would all be 1 star across the board. Could not agree more with the complaints you have listed.Of course it is.

I plan to keep a look out for better flaps. They are barely better than nothing. Cut or not cut. with a taller mud flap they can come out further for better protection. If you stand at the back of the car and look at the tire and mud flap the tire sticks out beyond the flap by a good inch.
These mud flaps are tiny. They are tucked way under as the body slopes inward. They are probably the worst designed mud flap I’ve ever seen.
Since they are small and my car is MSM they are not too hideous looking and I do like how they attach. Protection wise they are a joke. But not zero.
I use flaps mostly to help keep the car stay cleaner longer. They probably will protect that rocker panel directly behind the flap from getting chipped.

Yes sir.So much interest in mud flaps. Are there other luxary sedans owners who install mud flaps?
Great thought though I am really in the plug and play camp on mods now. Too many competing demands on my time.I am quite happy with the @jebinc generic Amazon mudflaps. I created a simple template to trim them down with a jigsaw and sink the proper rivet and screw holes. It's a little DYI relative to the Tesla offering, but more sturdy in my experience and allows you to adjust the length to match your local driving style and road conditions. Also, once you have the template, you can replace them cheaply.

I never thought I'd see a thread with over 40 pages on nothing other than mudflaps. Clearly, there is a lot of passion for this topic. I wished I lived in an environment where I didn't need them. Even if not from the weather, I think you need them from just how much power the car lays down, couple that with grippy tires and you have recipe for sandblasting anything behind the wheels.
I see the "Outside" label on your tire. Any idea how you managed to get asymmetric tires? They are listed in the owner's manual as included on the model S refresh but they were not included on our S. We received our car in 09/21. Is yours' more recent? We have checked with Tesla and they essentially said "don't believe everything you read in the owner's manual."My additional intent for adding the flaps were to prevent the tire dressing from being flung all over the door panels of the white car.
I received them today and installed it now and drove through my neighborhood school parking lot which has a few average speed breakers. These flaps scraped every one of them. Also scrapes when turning on a road which has a dip. I am going to cut off an inch along the line you can see in the photo and try later. But I would not buy them again. Also one of the clips broke. I need to go to service center to get a replacement.View attachment 795114
yes, they are asymmetric - there was nothing I had to do to get them as they are default. Mine is 02/22.I see the "Outside" label on your tire. Any idea how you managed to get asymmetric tires?

Do you think this material would be too hard to cut with a sharp carpenter knife?I am quite happy with the @jebinc generic Amazon mudflaps.

yes, too thick and hard for a utility knife...was my initial thought. That being said, jigsaws are a small $ investment that takes little space (small case). Get a fine tooth blade for laminate or similar (higher # of teeth). Good luck with the OEM version. I liked the ease of installation, but they just didn't last more than a few weeks of heavy winter weather.Do you think this material would be too hard to cut with a sharp carpenter knife?
I don't have access to a jigsaw but I also don't want to make some janky (is that a word?) looking flaps by butchering them,
I just installed the front OEM ones, haven't driven on them yet. It was the first time I've washed the car for awhile and was the first time seeing all the rock chips peppered right through my PPF. ugh
They are not referring to the OEM ones which can be cut with scissors or utility knife.I cut mine down with a good set of scissors. Then took a little sandpaper to smooth it out. Can't tell they didn't come that way.
I cut mine with a utility knife. I traced the shape I wanted and then scored it. The material cut easily.Do you think this material would be too hard to cut with a sharp carpenter knife?
